COMP 140 Registration Open to Incoming Freshman During O-Week
COMP 140 has become an extremely popular class. As a matter of curricular policy, the CS department gives preference to incoming freshmen for registering into this course. Accordingly, incoming freshmen will have the opportunity to register for the class first during O-Week. Upperclassmen will then be able to register for the remaining slots. We look forward to seeing you in COMP 140 next year!
